What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi prioritizes comfort and convenience. This is why all the new models in our showroom include keyless entry and starting. This technology allows you get into your car and start driving, while keeping your key fob in pocket or in your purse.
The system is controlled by proximity sensors located in the trunks, doors and key fobs. Here are some things you should know about Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection allows you to enter and start your vehicle without needing to take the key out of your pocket or purse. This access and authorization system works by automating data exchange between your convenience key and the vehicle that allows you to unlock the doors and trunk and even activate the engine with a single click on your key.
A proximity sensor that is based on sound also referred to a capacitive sensor, employs acoustic waves in order to detect the presence of objects near. The sensors produce a signal using an oscillator. This signal is then transmitted into the air by the microphone that transforms it into an audio file. The audio files are compared to determine their similarity and proximity. If they are close enough that the system sends a wake-up signal to the key and send an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.
Proximity detection is only the beginning of a more comfortable driving experience. The Audi advanced key comes with remote start capabilities which gives you to start your vehicle from outside the range of your key FOB. This can be useful when you're taking groceries out of the trunk, placing children in their seats, or packing for a family outing.
Audi pre sense basic is a safety feature that helps you avoid accidents by taking action prior to an accident occurs. It combines the data of various other systems, such as the front camera and radar sensors from Audi side assist to determine the probability of a collision, and also warn drivers. It can also trigger the automatic brake system at speeds up to 250 km/h (155,3) and alert the driver via the head-up or virtual cockpit display.

2. Authentication
When you press the key fob's lock button the Audi advanced key system communicates with your car's sensors. It sends a message to the car's system that confirms that the key fob is an authorized key fob. This safeguards against unauthorised access to the vehicle without the proper key fob.
It also lets drivers start their vehicles using the key fob that is in the pocket or purse. Audi's advanced key system uses proximity sensor in the trunk lid, doors and key fob. The sensors unlock the doors when the key fob is in close proximity to the vehicle (about five feet). When you then use the door handle or open the trunk, the vehicle recognizes your key and kicks off the engine.
You can also use the key fob to trigger the push-button feature of your vehicle. If the key fob is inside of your purse or pocket it is possible to press the Start/Stop button in the center console to activate the engine. The car's sensors will confirm the key fob is authentic and start the engine once they've confirmed it.
The Audi advanced key system features a keyless entry feature that lets you open the doors of your vehicle by simply touching the exterior door handle. This makes it incredibly useful when your hands are full or you're wearing gloves, for instance when you're carrying your groceries or kids into the vehicle. The system comes with a trunk-release button that allows you to open the trunk using the kick motion. This is an excellent option for those who have to carry lots of groceries or children into the vehicle.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry is an excellent convenience, particularly when you're carrying your kids, groceries or other gear. You can unlock your car by simply pressing a button or sensor mounted on the handle of the door (some models include the technology in the lock). If you're carrying a key fob, it will also send an alert to activate the car's sensors to let it know you are nearby and that your finger is at the button. This will stop any unauthorized access to the vehicle by ensuring only you can unlock the doors.
Keyless entry systems often include the ability to remotely start your car without the use of a physical key. This is accomplished through sensors in the trunk, tailgate or even inside the doors of the vehicle. The sensors will open the doors and start the engine of the vehicle when the fob is within 5 feet. Then, you can press a button to start your car. This is a great technique to warm your car before you leave in the morning to go to work or when it is cold outside.
Some of the most advanced keyless entry systems don't require a fob. These cars can be started and locked using a smartphone application. This is a great option for families or business owners who want to give their employees an easy method of using vehicles for business. Some keyless entry systems will even keep track of the driver's preferred seat position and cabin temperature. This could save you a lot of time when you go to a parking area.
One of the most sophisticated keyless entry systems has a rear hatch feature that is activated by a simple foot wave. The hatch will then close and secure the cargo area automatically. This technology is available in a variety of Audi automobiles and, depending on the model, it might be included as a standard feature or as an upgrade that costs money. Be aware that these systems are not foolproof and can be circumvented by savvy thieves with some technical expertise or tools.
4. Push-Button Start
Contrary to other brands, Audi does not offer remote start on its vehicles in its factory capacity. Audi offers an alternative with similar features to remote start, which is called the Audi Advanced Key.
This isn't a remote start system but it's an excellent option for those who want to start their car without having to insert a key. With this feature, you can unlock the doors of your Audi A4 or start the engine by pressing the button. This button is in the same place as the ignition switch on the standard car.
To activate this feature, you will be required to have your key fob in your pocket and close enough to the car. Sensors in the door handles or trunk will be activated once you and your key fob are within five feet of the vehicle. Once you have an equivocal signal and correct code the vehicle will allow you to lock the doors and start the engine.
You can start driving your Audi A4 with the touch of a button, without having to search through your purse or pockets for your keys. This feature is perfect for people who park their cars a lot. It can also be an excellent benefit for those who need to warm up their car quickly to get on the road.
When you get in your car the system continues to communicate with your key fob. This is done by using encrypted signals to protect against hacking. It also comes with an Keyless Go card as a backup. It is credit card size and can be used to unlock the vehicle in case the key fob gets lost or is malfunctioning.
If your car is equipped with the Audi Advanced Key and you are having trouble getting it to start, there may be a problem with the key or the vehicle. This is something that your local Audi dealer can assist with. The user's manual provides instructions that can be used to repair your keys and vehicle.
